Hi zyndar! Been using your tactics in previous FMs with good results, so now I am excited to try this on out.
I've picked a wonderkid-full team such as Schalke 04 for my first career with FM17; after a brilliant pre-season, with 10/10 wins (including 1st DFB Pokal game against a lower league German team) I had a shocking Bundesliga debut losing 0-4 away against Eintracht
...that stupid Bentaleb was sent off after 18 mins so I can't really pick this game as a true test.
Unfortunately my next opponent was the worst possible one: FC Bayern. I lost again, 0-1 at home this time but they are Bayern so I gues it's acceptable for now.
I have a couple of questions, answering them might help me:
a) Is Johannes Geis suitable for the HB role or do you think he's too attacking-minded?
b) How do you see Max Mayer as IF on the right? Do you think he might be not pacey enough?
c) What do you usually do when you're down to ten men? I was confuded whether to remove the striker or a midfielder in the Eintracht game, and they ended up easily slauthering me...
d) Is Pace an important attribute for the centrebacks in this tactic? Mine are quite slow tbh.
e) I never fully understood nor liked the DLF role, and I guess Huntelaar would be the absolute worst choice for that role, wouldn't he? I also have Embolo and Franco Di Santo.
f) Is the creation of a 4-2-3-1 tactic in your schedule atm? I think it would be perfect for my players.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work
